Sakayanagi's Hat! 6k! (Continued)

Hachiman and Hiyori often read books together, so they know that "The Moon Shines Beautiful" actually has another meaning.

It comes from a novel by Soseki Natsume and is similar to a confession of love.

But.

He didn't think his relationship with his senior was that close.

Rather, it would be terrible if there were any misunderstandings.

Hachiman doesn't want to look back on the past.

However, he couldn't deny that the offer of 300,000 yuan for just watching the moon together was tempting.

Because I promised Karuizawa today that I would give her 50,000 yen a month for living expenses, my senior gave me a discount of 300,000 yen, which is just enough to cover Karuizawa's living expenses for 6 months.

And regarding money...

50,000 points isn't a huge amount, but Hachiman has earned 100,000 points before.

That was an invitation from Classmate Sakayanagi.

So.

He needed to have dinner with Classmate Sakayanagi to get 100,000, but now he can save 300,000 just by looking at the moon with his senior. In the end, he still made the profit.

Moreover, Asahina-senpai might be a potential partner in the future, so there's no need to reject her so decisively.

And so, the two of them watched the moon together.

Senior Sister Jing even took out her phone to take a picture, but unfortunately, although the school's phone was of very good quality and even had good pixels, it couldn't fully reproduce the perfect appearance of the moon.

"It seems the image isn't very clear when illuminating the moon, but it's still fine when illuminating people," Asahina said.

She originally wanted to take a picture of the moon with her phone, but it wasn't very clear, so she started to doubt the pixel quality. Then she used the front camera to take a picture of herself and her Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Should I borrow a camera from a classmate?" Hachiman knew that Sakura must have a camera with her.

Even if you don't bring your own, you can borrow one from the ship.

However, the main reason why Hachiman was so proactive was because he felt uncomfortable being photographed, as he had just been photographed.

"No need, this is fine." But Asahina shook her head.

She looked at the photos she had just taken several times. Then she put her phone back in her pocket.

Even though she received 300,000 less, Asahina seemed to be in a good mood.

Moreover, she also had her own ideas.

Not only is Hachiman Hikigaya the one destined to find her Omamori charm, but in this exam, he could have chosen anyone else, even Kiriyama, to complete the quota he wanted. So, could she possibly have some illusions?

Because there are plenty of cute or pretty girls in the lower grades, she also felt a lot of pressure.

Then, considering the difference in their grades, her chances became even slimmer.

Therefore.

If her junior also feels the same way... then perhaps she could try even harder?

"I'm still a little worried about the upcoming exams." The senior student decided to start a conversation, which was actually a problem she was currently facing. "You know, the quality of our class can't compare to that of other grades. In the past, Ya expelled many students, including some who opposed him. So, some students who were Academic Ability and physically strong, and had clear thinking, were also expelled by him. There aren't many people in my class who are good now."

And.

The third-year students were basically just slacking off on this exam because they didn't gain anything.

However, that's not entirely true, because if it weren't for First-year Class D, two or three groups in the third year might have ended up in the bottom five groups.

In other words, although they are senior students, they have not learned much at this school, and in some aspects, they are even less knowledgeable than first-year students.

In addition, their numbers are fewer than those of other grades, so it's really hard to say who will win in a real competition.

Then, because they failed to rank in the top three in the exam, the class evaluation score for the third grade remained unchanged.

Third-year Class A, 1646 points

Third-year Class B, 1344 points

Third-year Class C, 740 points

634 points in Third-year Class D

The class evaluation scores remained completely unchanged.

However, it was still terrifying for Third-year Class A, because Third-year Class B was right behind them!

"Actually, the situation isn't that bad," Hachiman said. "On one hand, in this exam, you guys teamed up with the students in Class D, right?"

"Yes." Asahina nodded.

"That means we have at least one outside help," Hachiman said. "For your class, which has the fewest students, at least it won't be so painful when facing exams that require a large number of people to stand still."

"But..." Asahina felt it was still not safe enough.

Since they can form First-year Class D, then Kiriyama and his group can also form a joint Class C.

So we'll probably end up in a similar stalemate again.

"Since we've run out of talent, how about we go find some?" Hachiman said.

"Looking for a talented person?" The senior looked over, somewhat puzzled.

Hachiman then continued.

"You were asking me about the Kiryuin-senpai earlier. I met her twice during the Uninhabited Island Exam and even got some help from her, but I found out she's actually a monster. And she's been controlling her score all along; she actually had a chance to get into the top three."

"A monster..." Asahina. "Indeed."

"Back when we were first-year students, back when we were only in Class B, in order to climb up, Miyako also analyzed the information of the students in Class A, and then discovered a student with a rather terrifying basic ability, and that was Kiryuin Fuka."

"At that time, Kiryuin seemed to have been asked by Kiriyama to work hard for the class, but she refused. She felt that the class had a great advantage and there was no need for her to contribute as well. Moreover, she didn't like leading a class; she preferred to advance on her own."

And all of this happened when the senior student Nagumo were still young and inexperienced.

"In other words, Kiryuin rejected Kiriyama back then. And she continued to act accordingly, not scoring many points for her class, and instead keeping to herself. As for Miyabi, since Kiryuin is a beautiful girl, she naturally wouldn't let her drop out so easily," Asahina-senpai said.

But.

"..." Just because the other person is pretty, does that mean they can't drop out of school?

Looking at it this way, Nagumo is indeed quite remarkable.

Hachiman recalled that when he first met Asahina-senpai, he had overheard her phone call with Miyabi Nagumo, during which Nagumo confessed his feelings to her and hoped that she would join the Student Council.

But she rejected him.

The theory is that Nagumo is a sea king.

Therefore, it's conceivable that if Nagumo really became the Student Council President, the Student Council might become Matoba Senior Nagumo is the only male member and a bunch of beautiful female members.

When selecting talent, we don't look at anything else; we look at appearance first.

If someone is good-looking, even if they don't have much talent, they will still be selected.

"..."

What an amazing person.

"Hachiman thought to himself."

Compared to the Student Council that might exist under Nagumo, the current Student Council, President Sakayanagi, seems much more reliable, as it selects members from the same group.

It's just that the chairman's health isn't good, so he often uses illness as an excuse to avoid working overtime. It's too much to push some work onto him.

"Since you know Kiryuin-senpai, that makes things easier," Hachiman said. "The plan that guarantees your class's victory is to invite her over."

"Gather 20 million points and buy Kiryuin Fuka."

"As long as she's in charge, we can still hope that your class can graduate as Class A. I think the chances of success are as high as 70%."

Kiryuin gives Hachiman a female version of Kōenji.

If Kōenji doesn't hold the event, but instead chooses to dedicate all the resources to the classes, then the final outcome is something to look forward to.

In particular, Asahina-senpai's class had been trained by Nagumo, so those who were supposed to be obedient would be.

"This..."

This suggestion was something Asahina had never thought of before.

Is it possible to also choose to buy players?

"But Kiryuin has been rejecting Kiriyama all along, hasn't she? She even rejects her own class... so if we go and buy her..." Asahina seemed hesitant.

And this argument makes a lot of sense.

Kiryuin wouldn't even help Kiriyama, so if they went to ask her, could they really get her to come?

What if we bring them over but they still continue to slack off?

That means she'll be dragging everyone down and losing 20 million yuan for nothing. If she could raise 20 million yuan, she could be absolutely certain of graduating from Class A.

"Let's make contact first," Hachiman said. "While some people are of noble character and refined personality, I also believe there are some people you can afford to pay and respect, and who are worth inviting."

Is that so?

These words made Asahina-senpai think about it carefully.

"Can I trust you, Hachiman Hikigaya?" she asked.

"I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but I think this is the only safe option for your class to graduate as Class A," Hachiman said.

Is it a safe bet?

Asahina pondered Hachiman Hikigaya's choice of words.

She had no doubt about the other party's abilities, because everyone knew that.

Therefore, the other person's gaze is perhaps what they need most right now.

So, after transferring 1 million points to Hachiman, the senior student hurriedly went to find Kiryuin Fuka.

Hachiman was holding a cell phone.

Now I've gotten a million for free.

Should this 1 million be split with Ryuen and the others? Probably not. After all, the settlement has already been completed.

And.

Hachiman also thought of ways to use it. On one hand, it could be used as part of Karuizawa's living expenses; on the other hand, Horikita had performed well in the recent exam, so it could be used as a reward.

Kushida mentioned wanting a perfume, so it's a good time to give her some gifts.

In that case, the amount of money isn't much, so there's no need for Ryuen to take a share.

On the other side...

Asahina hurriedly walked down the stairs from the rooftop deck, holding her phone directly in her hand.

But when he picked it up, he realized that he wasn't familiar with Kiryuin. Although they were classmates, they had only met a few times and had never even spoken.

Since you haven't added the other person as a friend, you naturally can't find their location.

But.

"You'll fall if you walk in such a hurry."

Asahina was hurrying up the stairs when she noticed someone going up, and that person even reminded her.

Upon hearing this voice, Asahina quickly turned around.

"Found it!" Asahina said. "Kiryuin Fuka, could you come with me alone?"

"..." Kiryuin Fuka.

Do we know each other?

"So, do you know my information?" Asahina asked.

"Asahina Kokoro from Third-year Class A is in the same class as Nagumo and is Nagumo's childhood friend. Kiriyama sometimes walks with you guys too."

"Did you memorize everyone's information?" Asahina asked.

"Do I need to memorize it? I can remember it all after just one look." But Kiryuin seemed very arrogant.

Such arrogance, however, is reassuring, because Kiryuin Fuka is indeed an extraordinary person, just as Hachiman Hikigaya said.
